Matthew is the 5th Category 5 hurricane in Atlantic on record during October..... Other 4 are (Cuba-1924, Hattie-1961, Mitch-1998, Wilma-2005)
Looks like the fact it’s risen to a CAt 5 so fast and rare for Oct. in the Atlantic....makes for an interesting watch.
We are right in the middle of Hurricane season.
There’s still a lot of heat in the waters of the Caribbean.
